Well, after last weeks events, I am finally back to training. 5 days off is one helluva of a taper huh?? I am not really sure how those 5 days off will effect my half marathon next weekend. I'm not very knowledgable in training and tapers. Anyone out there have any thoughts on my "take 5 days off 2 weeks off before a 1/2" un-plan? Yes, it was unplanned and unexpected, but it freaks me out. I was really hoping to get in another 12 mile long run in last Monday. Should I do another 12 mile run this week or should I do my planned taper run of 8 miles? I have no idea what to do. I ran 6 miles last night to get back into running after the 5 days I did NOTHING exercise related. Today I swam and then run-walked a 2-mile fun run with big little.
I have to say that spending time with oldest daughter doing something that I LOVE really means a lot to me. I rarely spend time with each child alone, so when we do have something planned, I really enjoying seeing who they truly are.
Here we are before leaving home:
The run was a knock-off color run. The run was called, "Color Your Life" and was a small community run in a town near us. With registration we got a white t-shirt for the run and then a grey shirt with the logo as well. The run was not timed and was only 2 miles. It was for anyone 5 and older. My oldest has asked several times to run a race with me, so I thought this was perfect.
As you can see above, we made cheapo tu-tus and got into the fun. She was so excited and we had a blast. Here is big little after all of the fun...
And the picture she took of me!
Us together....

I can't explain how much spending time with my children means to me. The fact that I was able to share something I love with her means the world to me. These little moments are the things that I want her to remember for the rest of her life. I saw this today after we got back and it is SO true!
That is awesome!!
